What I've been doing:
I'm still training for my Duathalon (biking, running, lifting weights). I've also been using my self control and perseverance muscles to help me through some personal struggles. I keep thinking about the resolve I had to last 30 FULL DAYS! That blessing is keeping me focused!

What I've been eating:
I've been eating both cooked and raw foods. I would say most days I've been 75% raw. They say it takes 21 days to form a habit....I went hard (minus the rebellion) for 30 straight days. I have definitely formed a habit! A good one at that! Some examples of my meals include:

chia porridge with hemp milk, seeds and nuts

more bruchetta (this time on veggie pasta)

salads (with added rice on occasion)

more smoothies and juices

mashed potatoes

vegetable Pad Thai

CHIPS!!! But just enough to wet my appetite.

lots of fruit!

lots of nuts!

chocolate cake (C'mon! It was Independence Day! And it was GOOD! - Big up Xan!)

I have not had: ice cream, SNICKERS!, tons of bread, and a lot of other processed foods. My taste buds have been slightly reformed.

How I'm feeling:
I noticed a strange thing the other day: I now have a bionic nose and tongue. My sense of smell and taste are heightened. For example: I ate slices of conventional and organic apples at the same time and I COULD taste the soap/pesticides on the conventional apple! I have NEVER been able to tell the difference before. Just call me Super Zahra!

The other thing is that I am way more aware of my body. The slightest tinge of pain does not go unnoticed. My libido has also increased! Okay...TMI (too much information)...but you know what? It's true and a great benefit from CLEANING out my system!

So folks - I'm pressing on the upward way...new heights I'm gaining everyday! Yesterday I overate....and I COULD FEEL IT. All I ate for the remainder of the day was good ole watermelon (More Watermelon Please!)
